When i was about 10 years old, I had watched the Sleepy Hallow film starring Johnny Depp. I was so terrified, that night when I was laying in bed, it was so dark in my room; i thought that my dresser was the headless horseman, becuase it was so tall and menacing. I laid awake the entire night because i kept thinking that the giant bureau was moving.

I got hit by a car while riding my bike down an empty street in the dark. Last thing I saw was the headlights.

I worked in a hella creepy building for a Detox center in Sedro Woolley, WA. It was connected to a closed down Insane Asylum. So of course during our shift we decide to break in, and let me tell you, I have never seen such a scary place. There are no lights, but plenty of old wheel chairs and hospital equipment littered about. There were even chutes in the floors where they used to dump bodies in. What really scared the bejesus out of us were all of these wood cutouts of what looked like people. Turns out whoever owns the building actually puts them in the windows to scare off any would-be intruders. Lets just say at a couple of points in our journey we ran smack dab into a few of these, which in turn nearly gave us heart attacks, and possibly a few skid marks....

Chupacabra (AKA Goat Sucker), case closed. It was either that or a stray dog. I wish I had these then.

an evil monkey leaning out of my closet door pointing at me, showing his teath, and shaking madly... then I found out he's really not evil, just going through a rough time after catching his wife in bed with another monkey, then I bond with him and he helps me with my homework and becomes a better father to me than my real father whom we shall call "Pea, Tar, Griffin", but then he decides to move on to the next place where he is needed with only the faint notion that he will some-day return...

I remember once, I was in my basement, reading stuff on The true story beind Emily Rose's exocist movie (based on the true story of Anneliese Michel) and I was reading on Anneliese Michel, even listening on youtube about audio tapes of her speaking while being possed.

Like I said I was in the basement, all dark exept for my computer monitor when someone touch me in the back, I must have freaking jump 2 story high until I notice it was my 4 years old son who woke up and came to see me in the night because he had a nightmare. I am telling you, I almost had a heart attack that night...

I was crew on a "Ghost Hunter" type television show and we did a segment on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. We did the whole gimmick: night vision cameras, a medium to commune with the dead, moving about in total darkness, etc. But I gotta say: that ship is haunted. We went to the pool midship, which is closed to the public and empty of water. Well, when we entered it was bone dry in there. Moving into the changing area we heard a child's voice giggling.

Moving back into the area around the pool there were fresh, wet footprints on the steps leading out of the pool.

Lots of other stuff happened on that ship. But that's one of the easiest to relate.

When I lived in a dorm years ago, I had a roomate that was about 6'6" and liked to sleep naked. I discovered this because he also liked to have the window open while he slept. The window, unfortunately, was located over my bed. If I ever forgot to open it before I went to bed, he would "hang" over my bed while he opened it. The first time it happened it was dark and I heard him opening the window. I opened my eyes and thought "what is that ..... AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

A coat on the back of a chair. It looked like a robber. Did I mention that this happened the first night I spent in my new apartment alone in a less-than-reputable part of town?

Nothing. In the dark, I see nothing. Since I'm used to seeing, that's rather scary...

Definitely my ex-girlfriend's naked father, obscured only from the waist up, at the top of a dark hallway one night. It was 10 years ago but the image is still burn into my mind.

I thought I saw death coming to harvest my soul. Pretty traumatizing for a 5 year old. I still have a hard time looking down a dark hallway in the middle of the night to this day.

I remember waking up one night; it was darker than usual in my room 'cos there was no moon out.

For the life of me I thought someone was standing next to my bed--I looked over and what little light there was seemed to highlight the general curvature of a human form.

Man, I nearly fucking tried to punch whatever apparition had surfaced next to me, but then the tree outside my window shifted a bit and the shadows moved.

Jesus christ it looked just like a person though...

When I was a kid, my family took a trip to see some of my parent's friends. They had two kids that were around the same age as my older brother and sister, and they thought it would be a good idea to spend all afternoon telling me about a ghost that lived in the house we were in.
Later that night they lured me up to the darkened attic and closed the door behind me, then I saw two tennis rackets floating in the air at the other end of the room. I was absolutely terrified and didn't stop being scared until we went home.
I found out later that there was a 3rd even older son who had hidden up in the attic and had tied fishing line to the rackets for when they inevitably led me up there.

A car crashed into our long front yard up by the road. I woke up to see people wandering outside, trying to figure out which door was our front. Very scary to see raged, limping humanoid shapes in the outside in the middle of the night.

Long time ago, me and a bunch of my cousins were having a pillow-fight in my room in the dark.

I thought I saw someone hiding under the sheets of my bed. I lifted up the sheets and saw what looked like a head come out from underneath.

So with ALL my might I swing the pillow as hard as I can to teach the punk a lesson, the pillow lands and the head goes FLYING across the room.

Five seconds of PURE TERROR...then I realize it was a balloon someone had left under the sheets....
